Fires
This may only be the beginning.
We've had so little rain lately and the humidity levels are extremely low - all we need is a hot day (Sat is forecast to be 37) with strong winds and we're in real trouble. Even the dams relied on by firefighters are dry so vast areas just cannot be defended.
Our fire season runs until early March.
A mate of mine in Northern Victoria has been using his bulldozers to make firebreaks and has already lost one machine to fire.
